very short statement from the nra. but essentially the nra is skeptical of a lot of what's being pushed out there by the white house and lawmakers up on capitol hill. they say instead of focussing on guns and gun owners, that all of these lawmakers need to be focused on issues such as mental health, need to focus on things like violent video games. one of the things that the nra has also suggested is putting armed guards at all of the schools in order to protect students and to prevent something like what we saw in connecticut from happening again. so again they believe that you need to take sort of a broad approach here, a broad look at this problem, not just look at those who own guns. >> let's talk about the meeting today. you have details for us as to what the vice president is actually proposing. >> that's right. again, the vice president is looking for sort of broad options here. and that's why they're having these meetings. but right up front, both the vice president and president are looking at things such as r
